Question:-
Dodder and mistletoe are both parasitic plants, with one major difference between them. What is that difference?
Dodder is classified as a parasite because it absorbs nutrients from its host. It has no roots when it's mature and gets food, water, and minerals from the host. Mistletoe is classified as a hemiparasite. ... Mistletoe absorbs water and minerals from its host, but makes its own food via photosynthesis.
A few examples of parasites are tapeworms, fleas, and barnacles.
